0014 – Bimba – Caetano Veloso, Seu Jorge, Garoto, Lenine, Hamilton de Holanda, Marco Pereira, Badi Assad, Michel Legrand and Luiz Eça

Every year, Brasília turns itself also into the capital of Brazilian Music, during its International Summer Course. The meeting gathers more than sixty thousand people, among public audience, students and renowned teachers. During its 20th year, the acoustic guitar player Marco Pereira and the mandolin player Hamilton de Holanda met each other. They had a little jam session in the backstage, and from that wonderful experience they decided to record the album Luz das Cordas (Light From The Strings).

Named after Lewis Carrol’s literature, Wonderland is the album recorded by the singer and acoustic guitar player Badi Assad, which brings many questions about the fragile human soul and its illusions. It includes a blues duet with Seu Jorge, our most famous black singer, in a rearrangement from the song “Vacilão”, the popular samba originally recorded by Zeca Pagodinho.

Michel Legrand is an old french pianist and composer who won three Oscars with movies soundtracks. He was a great friend of Luiz Eça, the great pianist, and in 2004 came to Rio de Janeiro to invite Ivan Lins, Francis Hime, Jacques Molerembaum and other great musicians to record the album “Uma Homenagem a Luiz Eça“. Each track is a rare gem to be appreciated.

Caetano Veloso recorded in 1979 the album Cinema Transcedental. We’ll listen to Beleza Pura, one of the greatest hits of this album.

0010 – Meu Violão – Capiba, Chico Buarque, Caetano Veloso, Raphael Rabello, Baden Powell and Fagner

Capiba’s song are integral part of Pernambuco’s lore. It is a state in the Northeast region. We’ll play two of the songs he made after the famous cities Recife (his hometown) and Olinda (the city with one of the best carnivals in the world). Raphael Rabello’s guitar is featured in both songs. Chico Buarque and Caetano Veloso’s voices are also featured. Raphael Rabello was producing this album while he prematurely died, in 1995. In 2002, her sister, the musician Luciana Rabello, finished the beautiful production.

We’ll play also three Baden Powell’s songs. The legendary acoustic guitar player interprets Luiz Gonzaga, Moacir Santos and one of his own songs, the remarkable Berimbau. Great live stuff, recorded in Frankfurt, 1975. He also sings here with his delicate voice.

The singer Raimundo Fagner is well known for his dramacity. Few people know the begining of his great career. I’ll show two from the album Orós, which was produced by the music wizard Hermeto Pascoal in 1977.

0006 – Ô Bahia! – Dorival Caymmi, Secos e Molhados, Ney Matogrosso, Djavan, Gilberto Gil, Maria Bethânia and Caetano Veloso

Dorival Caymmi is adored all over Brazil. He is one of the finest composers here, you have got to know him. He was also the man who presented João Gilberto to André Midani, Odeon Records‘ director in late 50’s, releasing Bossa Nova’s movement. We show here two of his sambas, a very sweet kind of music that speaks a lot about love and the sea. Unfortunately, he died this year, in August 16th.

Maria Bethânia is one of our most popular singers. She has a very strong voice, and a beautiful singing. She was born Bahia too. Together with her brother, the composer Caetano Veloso, she came to Rio de Janeiro by the 70’s and became very famous. We play Gema, from Caetano, and Mandou Me Chamar featuring Gilberto Gil, also from Bahia.

Secos e Molhados was a band born in the 70’s. They featured Ney Matogrosso, a great interpreter. The band dissolved before their second album, but Ney Matogrosso became one of the most renowned and exotic brazilian artists. We show here two of Secos e Molhados hits.

Djavan is a composer born in Maceió, capital city of Alagoas state. He’s also very renowned. His style is a combination of jazz, latin and african rythms. I will show a not so famous composition called Jogral. I am sure you’ll twist your head with that!
